Mr. Cooper's farm is tucked away in the hills here in the Finger Lakes and is a dear family friend.
Mr. Cooper was Justin's Scout master once upon a time and remains close. In fact when Justin restarted Pack 29 Mr. Cooper's grandson and great grandson joined us and has help create an amazing pack.
But the best part is he is willing to teach the kids and us about farming. This fall we finally went apple picking.
The kids and I had a great time searching for apples and learning the history behind his orchard.
Desmond was thrilled to climb trees and eat his fill on fresh produce.
We even found evidence of bugs :D
Marley learned that the best apples are not always the picture perfect one.
Sometimes the best apples might have scabs or a small bruise, and if it really is not perfect for eating then it will make great apple butter and apple sauce because they are the juiciest.
